Wow - they are absolutely awesome! I especially love the first image. Were you able to do that with a single exposure, or did you have to focus-stack?

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

Thanks for the comments, Travis, Andres, Tom, PhotosGuy.

Tom - none of the shots were stacked. All single exposures.

Wonderful centipede, great find and shots. Now you just need to find one preying on a millipede! I'm curious, did it move slowly like a millipede or more like a typical scolopendra?

Thanks, Paul. That Edentistoma moved fast, like all other Scolependra.
